As you inhale, lengthen your legs and spine, reaching your toes toward the back of your space.

Exhale and lift your head, chest, arms, and legs off the ground. Roll your shoulders back and extend your arms behind you, so they are parallel with the floor. Reach through your fingertips and firm your back muscles.

Contract the legs to help you lift, keeping your knees, ankles, and big toes together. Gaze forward, being careful to keep the back of your neck long.

Hold Locust pose for three to five breaths. Slowly release to the floor on an exhale.
